MILITARY GOVERNMENT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED TO PROVIDE SECURITY TO THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT CITIZENS, PARTICULARLY THE MEMBERS OF MQM – ALTAF HUSSAIN

London – 17 January 2001

Mr Altaf Hussain, Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has strongly condemned the brutal killing and callous murder of Mohammad Kashif Farooq son of Mohammad Farooq, the brother of MQM worker Asif of Unit 71, Sector Korangi. While holding the present military government responsible for this brutal murder, Mr Hussain said that the military government has completely failed to provide security to the lives of the innocent citizens of the country, particularly the members of MQM.

Mr Hussain demanded of the Chief Executive General Parvez Musharraf and the Federal Interior Minister Moeen Haider to take immediate notice of the brutal killing of Mohammad Kashif Farooq and the horrific kidnapping of an MQM worker Javed Hasan of Unit 76, Korangi and take necessary steps to arrest all the culprits involved. Mr Hussain also demanded of the present military government to take all measures on SOS basis to save the life of Javed Hasan and ensure his safe release.
